Re:Visit | Celebrating a Decade of McKinney Visiting Artists
The Grunwald Gallery of Art was named in honor of IU alumnus John A. Grunwald in 2011. Born in Hungary in 1935, Grunwald survived the Holocaust and came to the United States in 1950. Grunwald graduated in 1956 with a degree in economics from IU, where he met his wife Rita. The Grunwalds were deeply interested in art and frequented studio art gallery openings and events. Rita Grunwald also worked in the Fine Arts Bookshop for nearly 25 years.
Grunwald Gallery of Art programs highlight the diversity of practice and heightened creativity present in exhibits of the work of student, emerging, and established artists. The Grunwald Gallery provides important professional training for hundreds of students, and your funds go directly to exhibit expenses and student employment costs. Funds also assist with furthering the educational mission of the Grunwald Gallery though publications and research in contemporary art.
Artists wishing to apply for an exhibition may submit no more than 10 images in jpeg format, a current CV, a website URL, and a project statement. Please keep images under 1MB each. Proposals are reviewed year-round, but please allow up to one year for review.
